If you want to find "self-confidence" for domestic brands from the car sales rankings, it is not the car sales rankings, nor the MPV sales rankings, but the SUV sales rankings. In the car market, domestic brands that are Geely Emgrand and BYD Qin PLUS sales data can be seen, the rest are basically "obscured by everyone", in the MPV market, Wuling Hongguang sales are high, but it is not a business travel attribute model, but a "tool car", the main low-end market, relatively high-end models are still Buick GL8 and Honda Odyssey. In the SUV market, the performance of domestic brands is very bright, basically competing with joint venture brands. A few days ago, the association released the top 15 SUV sales list in January 2022, let's take a look at it.

In this list, the top 4 are all domestic cars, they are Haval H6, Changan CS75, Changan CS55 and BYD Song, while the Honda XR-V, Honda CR-V and Volkswagen Tuyue, which performed well in the past month, have all dropped in the rankings, especially the Honda XR-V, which has fallen out of the top 15. The fastest-rising in the rankings were the Mercedes-Benz GRC and Nissan Qashqai, which rose from 23rd and 17th places in December to 5th and 6th places in January, respectively, and both sold more than 20,000 units. In seventh place was the BMW X3, with sales up 40.2% year-on-year, and 11th was the Audi Q5L, with sales down 2.8% year-on-year.
Haval H6 and Changan CS75 can be described as "enemies of a lifetime", and they do not like to "single-handedly", focusing on "group fights", such as Haval H6, can not say that it is a model, but a series, its sales include the third generation of Haval H6, Haval H6 national tide version and Haval H6S, Changan CS75 sales include CS75 PLUS, the sales of a variety of models are included in a model, is one of the reasons for their high sales. The same is true of BYD Song, its sales include Song, Song Pro and Song PLUS, the top 4 in the sales list, in addition to Changan CS55 PLUS is "single-handed", the other three models are a series of cumulative sales, which is a bit "not to talk about martial arts".
Mercedes-Benz GLC high sales is a very interesting thing, often contact with a variety of different cars people generally will not consider this car, especially those who often drive BMW X3 and Audi Q5L people, from the product strength and mechanical literacy, Mercedes-Benz GLC is BBA's medium-sized SUV in the weakest one, its sense of road is blurred, the engine runs roughly, the level of sound insulation and noise reduction is also unsatisfactory, in addition to the full-time four-wheel drive system is very strong and the interior design is more graded, Not as good as bmw X3 and Audi Q5L in every way, and the price is still expensive, I personally do not recommend choosing a model car. If you want a big space, you can choose the Audi Q5L, and if you want a sense of control, you can choose the BMW X3.
For Dongfeng Nissan, its SUV models in addition to the Qashqai can be described as "completely destroyed", Loulan's sales have not been able to go up, Andel's sales have also been "slashed" after the replacement of Qijun, leaving only the Qashqa "supporting the façade", and the Qashqai is also about to be replaced. It is reported that the new Qashqa will not follow the powertrain of X-Trail, but replaced by the 1.3T four-cylinder engine of Mercedes-Benz GLB, it seems that Dongfeng Nissan does not dare to take any more risks, if the Qashqa is also replaced by X-Trail's 1.5T three-cylinder engine, it is not excluded that Nissan SUVs are all "folded and sunken".
